A full-page advertisement has been taken out in the Washington Post calling Kiwi musician Lorde a bigot and accusing New Zealand of prejudice against Israel. It features a large photo of the singer superimposed over a picture of men running through rubble cradling babies with the headline "Lorde and New Zealand ignore Syria to attack Israel". "Let's boycott the boycotters and tell Lorde and her fellow bigots that Jew- hatred has no place in the twenty-first century." The singer has also copped flak from the Jewish Council of New Zealand and the The Zionist Federation of New Zealand. Israel's ambassador to New Zealand, Itzhak Gerberg, last week invited Lorde to meet him in person.
